Every year, cinema provides us with films that are breaktakingly beautiful, immersive and evocative, but sometimes a film that is seemingly destined for box office success flops and quickly disappears from cinemas, never to be spoken of again.

Naturally, not ever film that is released is going to be a box office smash due to a number of reasons, some of which I will explain in this article.
